Regulated 72 lumen 1w Luxeon LED, feels very solid but not heavy, runs off any AA batteries you feed it. Definitely a poor-man's LED Surefire. Came with a few nicks on it, but it's a work light, nothing that wouldn't be there in a week.

how do you like that aviator? as a pilot I feel the need to get a good light so I can do my preflights easier and since sometimes the cabin lights are too dim I want something with a red filter (or in this case red leds) that will spare my night vision. Is it worth the price? Or would I be better off getting a maglite and a filter kit?

i love it, it's probably the best all around flashlight i've seen, pocket or otherwise. i'm not gentle on it and it holds up fine, and it's perfect for exactly what you want to do with it. Surefire's mandatory pricing at $175 is pretty steep though, i paid $130 before they starting price fixing. If you're a professional or have serious need for it, i'd still consider it worth the price.

Probably not $45 off, but you might be able to get a deal from Grant and www.ganrtactical.com if you email him and tell him what you want.
